Few games have been as talked about as the PSX version of Lunar: The Silver Story, the mega-popular Sega Saturn RPG. Although its existence has been rumored for some time, it can now be confirmed. According to Japanese gaming site Gamebusters, Lunar is currently in development for the PlayStation by GameArts, and is scheduled for a May release in Japan.

The story of a boy, Alex, and his quest to stop the evil Ghaleon, Lunar is a traditional top-down RPG with turn-based battles. However, the game is further enhanced with extensive MPEG-compressed anime sequences and voices to accompany the text.

Although no US release has yet to be confirmed, all signs point to a Working Designs release. The company is currently in the process of developing the game for the Saturn here, but given the Saturn's current status, it would make more sense for the company to focus on a PlayStation version.
